The Lowell Area Fire Department is a formed Fire Authority responding to a variety of calls for help including fire, rescue and emergency medical services covering 60 square miles. The Authority is made up of the City of Lowell, Lowell Township, and Vergennes Township and is governed by a six-person Board. The Board is made up of an elected member and a citizen from each of the three municipalities. The Fire Department has several auto and mutual aid agreements with neighboring townships where they may be called upon to provide assistance in and outside the Authority’s district.
